5-minutes Raw-nola

5 Minutes

Introduction

An easy-to-make, 1-bowl, 5-minute raw version of granola with dates for natural
sweetness, nuts for crunch and protein, and plenty of seeds for healthy fats!
*If your dates aren’t fresh and sticky, soak in warm water for 10 minutes and then drain before adding to
the mixture.To keep this recipe grain-free and raw, omit oats or sub with more coconut.

Steps

How to make

1. To a food processor (which will work better than a blender), add nuts and pulse a few times
to roughly chop. Then add dates and pulse about 5 times to loosely combine.
2. Add remaining ingredients and pulse to combine. The mixture should resemble a chunky
granola.
3. At this point, you could add extra “flavor” in the form or cacao powder and cacao nibs, dried
fruit of choice, or vanilla extract or powder. My favorite is cacao powder and nibs!
4. Enjoy as is, on top of coconut yogurt, or with dairy-free milk! This would work in just about
any scenario regular granola would.
5. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks or in the
refrigerator for 3 weeks. Transfer to the freezer for longer-term storage (up to 1 month).
